Great Facilities, Distrustful Corporate Leadership
Pros
40 hours per week, work from home on Fridays, free coffee/tea/flavored sparkling water machine, restrooms cleaned multiple times per day, outstanding cafeteria quality despite limited options, modern office space and meeting rooms
Cons
Sapience (computer software that tracks clicking, mouse movements, etc… in order to ensure employees stay on track and work number of hours they claim they’re working). This is a game you have to play to ensure you are getting credit for times away from your computer (like an in-person meeting where you are doing nothing in your computer). If you don’t send a calendar invitation in outlook to someone when you have a ten-minute work related conversation then it looks to Sapience like you’re idle. And if they forget to accept the invitation then you don’t get credit. It’s not that hard to play the game, but causes a lot more anxiety than you would think and forces you to think about something else than your tasks. You should be graded more on whether you’re getting stuff done instead of spying on your computer activities. Ridiculous, especially for professionals with 10+ years of experience and six-figure salaries. You hired those types of people because they are professional, not because they’re untrustworthy slackers.
